It's going to be a "great" show. I just love The View and never miss it.

Tom Cruise AND Dakota Fanning. I know I am going to be entertained and learn so much!

Ahem...Anyway, the butt kissing started right off the bat before Cruise even appeared (actually he hasn't appeared yet).

The View is interrupted right now by Bush commenting on justice O'Conner's retirement or some other sort of less important nonsense. Think of all the angry fans at tomcruisefan.com. Is this a conspiracy to keep Tom under wraps? If it is, I guess it is only supposed to affect those of us in the Central time zone. Hmm. ;)

I forget who commented on the weirdness at tomcruisefan.com but not all negative comments are NOT gone. Some are just sneaky, or at least sneaky enough to fool the geniuses over there.

LOL..."both". I was going to say the same thing. It has an exponential effect.

I watched my tape and the president's newscast ruined the best part. The part where he is introduced is gone and directly after the interruption Katie Holmes is getting up to leave so the WotW actors can come in.

What I saw was one of the sickest love-fests I have ever seen on tv. Every compliment from the cast echoed by stupid applause and all the movie cast did was compliment eachother as the view cast complimented them about complimenting each other and so forth. The puffiest infomercial I have ever seen.

Maybe the view reruns at a later time. The only pointless reason for even watching was to see the in love couple interact.

The couch jumping was scary. It's funny when someone is making fun of it. But sort of doing it as some kind of cute thing that minimizes the original stupidity of is whole nother can of worms.

> Not to mention that in addition to the couch jumping during the> show, they felt obliged to show clips of each couch jumping> moment in the wrap.>

I missed that. But the thing I got out of this was when the movie cast was asked if they believed in aliens. Tom said he has to see something to believe it when obviously, being a high ranking OT-VII science-fictionologist, he believes in aliens by definition. Still, any demented reason for wanting to watch this was the cruise/holmes stuff and it was completely gone.

There was way too much smiling going on with cruise and fanning. Tim Robbins seemed like the most grounded of the whole whole show.

>> His press and behavior have created a weird "b-movie reality show." Scientology tents on movie sets, katie holmes with scientologist reps in her entourage, The ape man dance, the hand holding thing, calling matt lauher "glib", saying he's helped 100s of people get off of drugs. It's crazy fun. And after all, he's in a remake of a classic sci-fi film/radio program.

ThatÂ´s the only reason I brought up this thread. If you guys like bad movies for their unwilling comedy factor - like me - this topic is a must here. Tom Cruise is the actual master of unwilling comedy and bad taste actions.

I just watched a little more of The View and it is BY FAR the most disturbing piece of hollywood propaganda that I have ever seen! If you thought Oprah's audience is cultish and star-struck celebrity worshipers, then you ain't seen nothin.

Absolutely no information came out of an hour of flapping jaws. If only even barbara walters could have asked someone their favorite color or tree or something. Anything.

The purpose of this show was palpable. You couldn't cut it with a knife.Tom laughing, the audience gushing, dakota fanning grinning and laughing about how great tom is, and on and on. And no one made a point, or statement of substance.

The only thing worthwhile, minus the weird jumpin-on-the-couch is so cute thing, was tom answering, "Do you believe aliens exist" with "I'd have to see them."

He started the scientology subject, at least he can answer truthfully by saying he's had aliens in his head that scientology has helped him exorcise.
